RED Summit - North Africa

After the tremendous success of the East Africa Edition, the West Africa Edition, and the India Edition - the RED summit is all set to march forward to the Morocco edition, taking place in Hyatt Regency Casablanca , Morocco on the 25th and 26th of April, 2019. The summit will host suppliers from Morocco while buyers will be participating from across North African countries.

The core thought-process behind the summit stems from a place of eliminating the common pain points that plague the suppliers & buyers in commonplace networking events. Thus, through a combination of a rigorous selection process and intelligent design, the RED summit is an amalgamation of personalised face-to-face meetings, purposeful networking, and impactful knowledge sessions & panel discussions.

Along with a focused professional set-up, the RED summit also ensures that the one-to-one meetings take place with either C-level executives or key-decision makers. Hence, providing a forum to explore better business opportunities to forge strong and lasting business relationships. The pre-scheduled face-to-face interactions are placed in a definite context, which assures a dialogue that is substantial and meaningful.

The RED summit caters to the specific requirements and needs of each attendee through its personalised agenda and assures maximised value at all levels of participation, even after the event.

What's happening in North Africa?

It will pack in a huge green space bigger than New York’s Central Park, a mega-mall, residential districts, a science and tech campus and a cultural complex complete with an opera house, theatres and a cinema.

In Algeria, it is speculated in 2015 - 19 investment plan that the public funding projection for residential construction will amount to €58bn and it is also forecasted that the Housing Ministry, Urban Planning and the City will deliver 2m additional turnkey units by 2019.

Over 200 construction projects estimated at $50bn are being constructed in Morocco to suit the requirements of a budding population and a rising tourism sector.

Because of its close proximity to Europe, Morocco is a popular investment destination. This implies that European companies like Spanish and French are using Africa as a launch-pad to open companies in Morocco.

Along with exchanging of cards, the attendees of the RED summit will engage in one to one meetings with leaders and key decision makers from across the industry and strike business collaborations. These encounters are facilitated in a systematic manner through carefully-designed networking activities. The suppliers showcase their product lines to multiple qualified buyers who will be present at the event. To aid with the navigation through various facets of the RED Summit, a key-account manager is allocated who will help maximizes networking opportunities.
